Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Kristin: My go-to approach for treating grief and loss is a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), components of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I also encourage clients to attend a community grief group. I find optimal benefit by helping clients identify and utilize skills that help them practice non-judgment of their feelings, providing psychoeducation about the process of grief, and assessing for the possibility of depression and/or anxiety.
Lynda: My go-to approach for helping people in grief & loss counseling is to use a pace that is patient-centered, providing a safe space in the virtual environment to let the client express feelings and memories while providing support. I find the best benefit in discussing the role that expressing emotions plays in the grief process: validating the feelings, facilitating healing, and releasing tension while connecting with another person.
Kristin: Some examples of the skills I teach when providing grief and loss counseling are as follows:
Lynda: "I teach the following tools in grief and loss counseling:
Kristin: I know a client is making meaningful progress in grief and loss counseling when the frequency and intensity of grief reactions are decreased, as evidenced by their own self-report and my observation of symptoms, and when the client and I are able to identify specific examples of improvement compared to their initial symptomology.
Lynda: i know a client is making meaningful progress in grief & loss counseling when they are able to process their stages of grief and loss in sessions, complete the tasks of grief I implement in sessions, and read their goodbye letter to their loved one in sessions, as well as other aspects of clinical observations specific to each client.
Kristin: In their personal time, clients can supplement counseling by practicing skills learned in therapy, engaging in agreed-upon activities, reviewing their therapy notes (if any), completing any homework or reading resources shared by the counselor, or keeping track of concerns that arise in between sessions so they remember them for the next session.
Lynda: Clients can supplement their time in grief & loss counseling by doing assigned homework like worksheets, workbook activities, and handouts.
Kristin: To prepare for your first grief and loss counseling session, you should complete any paperwork sent to you ahead of time and come to the session prepared to talk about your symptoms and what you hope to gain overall from your experience in grief and loss counseling.
Lynda: To prepare for your first grief & loss counseling session, you can complete assessments such as the PHQ-9, the GAD-7, and self-care assessment to formulate a benchmark from which we'll determine progress during treatment.
